Description

Important thing here is that the defense gets retooled to get younger and cheaper with both veterans and young guys for some draft picks. Putting McMichael at 2C forces him to get experience so he can flourish early, keeping Kuznetsov and playing him at wing instead. Greiss becomes to Samsonov what Elliot is to Hart, which is a reliable veteran ready to play if things get shaky for the young up and coming starting netminder. Also the Capitals don't have to be a salary cap team anymore so they can be more aggressive at the trade deadline if they need to be.

Yeah ORLOV is worth way more than this. Top pairing LHD don’t go for the same return as 3rd line centers. Lol
